DICTIONARY


Communication is absurd. It always has been.

Dictionary is an orignial NZ absurdist work by Nathan King that follows two personified linguistic theories, Pre(scriptivism) and Dee(scriptivism), as they compete, argue, squabble, and get incomprehensibly lost in semasiological semantics.

When we say this is, "Theatre Of The Absurd," we mean it - only a madman is going to be able to decipher these two.

You're in for a wheelbarrow of wordplay, pacey dialogue, absurdism, cognitive linguistics, and the questioning of the metaethics of hot dogs. We can't guarantee that you're going to learn anything; but you will be entertained, and you will come out thinking, "What just happened?"

BE THERE!

Dee and Pre would love to get utterly discombobulated by the motley, bric-a-brac nonsense we call the English language with you...
